    The Canterbury Rams have wiped the last time they played the Nelson Giants from their memory bank


    The two sides square off in tonight's National Basketball league elimination final, 10 days after the Giants won that game by 16 points.

    Rams coach Mick Downer says it's of little consequence.



    Tip off's at 5:30pm.

    The Otago Nuggets and Manawatu Jets play from 7:30 to decide semi-final seeding.
